Tank Abbott: UFC, Weight Classes Not ‘Real Fighting’

“There’s a whole new generation of people that don’t even know
what, in my opinion, is real fighting. After -- this is all in my
opinion -- after it was taken over by Dana White, you might as well
put skirts on most of those guys [and] high heels. It’s just
political nonsense. It’s not, in my opinion, real fighting. …
Anybody that wrestles in a weight class or fights in a weight
class, to me, should be wearing skirts. Royce Gracie
didn’t fight in a weight class. … The guy fought big guys, and
yeah, he lost to whoever the guy is. I can’t think of his name. The
guy that he lost to, some farmer or something from Iowa [Matt Hughes],
the guy that he lost to, if he fought any of the guys that Royce
fought in the beginning, they would decapitate him. If Kimo was to
fight that guy that fought Royce, [Hughes] would be decapitated.
And Royce beat Kimo, so there you go. No weight classes.”
